The easiest way to create a new profile is to connect to the wireless network using Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software. When you successfully connect to a network using this software, a profile is saved and used to access the network the next time you are within range.

This method of creating a new profile works well if the network does not have security enabled, or if security is enabled, you know the passcode to access the secure network.

Note

Enabling security is best done through your router's software. See the router manufacturer's documentation for details.

An alternative method of creating a profile is to use the Profile option in the Intel® PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi Connection Utility:

Open Intel PROSet/Wireless Software by:

Selecting Start > Programs > Intel PROSet Wireless. or

Double-clicking the Taskbar icon .

Select a network in the Wi-Fi Network area.

Click Profiles.The Profile window opens.

Click Add.The Create Wi-Fi Profile window opens.
